Our Celebrity Relationship Role Models

David Bowie and Iman

Far too many celebrity couples crash and burn. But then there are the ones who really solid, who complement each other, who are so adorable together, and (at least appear) to have really awesome relationships. Take for example, David Bowie and Iman. These two met at a dinner party in 1990 and married two years later. For years, they have been my celebrity relationship role models because they remind me that love can happen at any time, at any age, with someone who is drastically different from what you expected for yourself. I mean, this quote from David Bowie literally makes me melt. "It was nerve wracking at the beginning, the first five minutes, but we got along very famously and we have been together since then. I don't have that sense of loneliness that I had before, which was very, very strong." And Iman says just as awesome things about him. "I did not want to get involved with a rock star. No way. It is not a sane thing to do but David changed my mind. He wooed me," she said. "I remember once the laces on my trainers came undone and David was down on his knees in the middle of the street tying them for me. I thought to myself, ‘This one’s a keeper.’" Tell me about it!
